Left to Tell

Reading this book is a very thought-provoking experience. The writer Immaculée Ilibabiza was a survivor of the 1994 Rwanda massacre, during which 100 million people died in 100 days. This book is a girl's diary for the massacre of Rwanda against the genocide of the Jews. Like Anne Frank, Iriragiza is not writing about the history, politics, culture and massacres of my country, but I am writing about the influence it has on her (I recruit re-calculations obviously more ...More

Ilibagiza, Immaculée LeettoTell Left to Tell is the autobiography of Immaculee Ilibagiza, a story that grew up during genocide in Rwanda with her family. Through genocide, she shared her story. And her readers sympathized with her so that I could feel the real tragedy she was trying to tell. Her story stimulates the fear, sadness, and hope of everyone, and is an excellent figure representing the whole genocide of Rwanda. For those who enter the revolution and conflict, or those who want to read emotional stories, this book is for you. - Isiah Manzanares, grade 2019

Immaculée Ilibagiza (born 1972) is an American Rwandan writer, motivated speaker. Her first book, "Let's tell: Discover God in Rwanda's Holocaust" (2006) is an autobiographical work detailing how it survived during genocide in Rwanda. She appeared on the PBS show at Wayne Dyer and was aired on the 60 minute show on 3 December 2006 (Replay on 1 July 2007). On the left wing, Immaculée Ilibagiza shared her experience during the 1994 Rwanda massacre. She hides 91 days in a small bathroom with the other seven women. It is 3 feet (0.91 meter) by 4 feet (1.2 meters) (12 square feet) or less. The bathroom is hidden in the room behind the Hutsu's house wardrobe. During the massacre, most of the family of Ilibagiza (her mother, her father, and her two brothers Damascene and Vianney) were killed by soldiers of Hutu Interahamwe.

Immediately after the genocide in Lucanda, all the people around the Hutu tribe were killed with malice, Immaculée Ilibabaga said, "In the memoir of discovering God in Rwanda genocide left behind to tell it" Inside, I endured the tragedy. In just three months, except for her older brother Aimable, she almost lost all of her loved ones. However, although she experienced everything, Immaculée forgave Hutu who married her and completely changed her life. Immaculée did not allow others' interests, but for himself. It is useless to claim her negative feelings for the remainder of her life if she keeps eating her. She could help with God's devotion, but do not forget her, her family, and many people near her. Without her love for God, she would not be able to survive in the bath for too long.
